Blog Tour: The Secret by JB McGee

About The Secret:

The past finally catches up with Holden and Cammie in book four of the Magnolia Grove Series. Hidden lies have destroyed and robbed him of nearly everything Holden Masters cares about.

As buried truths come to surface, the only question that remains is whether he can finally be redeemed. Well, and will they be strong enough to survive the secret?

I love this series so much and am so sad to see it end. This is a second chance romance between two people who used to be best friends. And when things felt like they were crossing over that line, Holden walked away leaving Cammie with a broken heat and never really understanding what happened. But Holden has his reasons, but now the reasons no longer exist, well maybe they do but Holden is no longer going to care. He loved Cammie and he will do anything to prove how much he loves her and how much they belong together. But to fully be together and make Cammie see how true his feelings really are he needs to tell her his secret from many years ago. Will push her away further or make her see how much this man truly loves her.

I loved Holden from the very first moment that I met him And he proved over and over again how much he loved Cammie and why he was so worthy of her love, something that he may have questioned over the years. Ten years ago people got in his way of loving her and being with her. But she was always his even if they weren't together. I love how much he fights for her, gives her what she needs, takes it as slow as she needs it to be. But what made me fall in love with him all over again was in this book. He finally felt that now was the time to tell Cammie the truth, but at the same time he was also looking out for her. I can exactly explain why but just know that this man has a huge heart, especially where she is concerned.

I really like Cammie, even if at times she frustrated me. But to be honest I completely understood her reservations. Coming out of a long term relationship with a man that lied to her only to star a new one with a man who broke her heart so many years ago. But you could see how much she still love Holden, she was just being careful with her heart.

This was the perfect conclusion to this series. I loved the ending and I loved that we got more answers to their past. Ms. McGee managed to wrap everything up very nicely and gave us all closure in the areas where it was needed, with Cammie's father and the real reason Holden left her. I did feel like the story line with her ex sort of just ended with no real explanation. I am still unsure about what happened and did he really betray her, was he lying the entire time. But regardless this story is Cammie and Holden's and it was perfect. I cannot wait for Wells' story!!

About JB McGee:

J.B. McGee is a mother, wife, and the Amazon Top 100 author of the best-selling This Series. Amazon Crossing acquired the German rights to her debut novel, Broken. Heartfall, her coming of age novel about a bullied ballerina, is a #1 best seller in the Teen and Young Adult Performing Arts genre. Skipping Stones, a military romance about a young woman strongly influenced by her faith and her family all the while searching for her true love, is a #1 best seller in Women's Christian Fiction.

When J.B.'s not writing, she enjoys reading as well as watching and live-chatting her favorite television shows with her friends. Her favorite shows are Quantico, Blindspot, Grey’s Anatomy, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Below Deck, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, and Scandal (mainly because of her love of Scott Foley).

Born and raised in Aiken, South Carolina, she attended Converse College and eventually earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education from The University of South Carolina-Aiken in 2006.

In college, she was told by her children’s literature professor she would be the one student from her class to be an author. McGee shook her head and laughed. But in 2012, over six years after that statement was made and after a love of reading had been reignited, she gave writing a shot. J.B. gladly ate crow when she emailed her first book to the above mentioned children’s literature professor thanking her and acknowledging the accuracy of her prophecy.

In 2011, it was discovered that not only do both of her children, but also she and her husband, have mitochondrial disease. Affecting 1 in 2500 people, it has no cure or treatments. Being a writer allows J.B. to care for her family’s unique needs while also providing a platform for raising awareness for this disease.

She is a hopeless romantic who loves to escape into fairy tales—some she reads and some she creates.
